STERLING GREEN THERM WHITE PIPE PN 25

Can be used in hot and cold water installations in housing; and also with compressed air and water
distribution systems in industrial use. The wall of the pipes has sufficient thickness to provide
strength againts high pressures.

PIPE PN 25
PN 25 pipes can be used under 10 bar atmospheric pressure and 65°C hot water or air transmis-
sions. It may be used under 20 bar pressure ıf the circulating water is cold. The test pressure is 65
bars and burst pressure is 103 bars.

STERLING GREEN THERM ALUMINIUM FOILED WHITE PIPE

PN 25

STERLING GREEN Plastic Products Inc. Also produces aluminium foil wrapped stable pipes that
minimize elongation originating from heat.
STERLING GREEN Plus Therm Aluminium Folied stable pipes is produced by laminating 0.15 mm.
Aluminium foil on PN 25 plastic pipes and then with another coating of PPRC overlap. The alumini-
um foil within the two layers of plastic activates as an agent to reduce the extension capability of
the pipes nearly to the level or metal pipes. The stable pipe bears all of the physical qualifications
of PN 25 plastic pipes and can be safely used under 10 bar pressure at 90°C liquid or air tempera-
tures.

Expansion or shrinkage compensation arrangements can be installed in buildings very easily. For making one expansionloop as
infig. 4, four elbows will be enough. The necessary length of free bending piece (Ls) can easily be calculated from the formula
above or by using the figüre.

Figure 9

For straight pipes having length more than 5 meters, to compansete the expansion an expansion piece must be used. Crossover
should be used at the junctions of the laid pipes. For crossover piece 20 mm, 25 mm and 32 mm sizes are available.
